Basketball, Canada, Okinawa, Christmas!

Christmas is in 26 days and I am quite looking forward to Christmas in Japan. Already in Okayama city they have illuminations up. It is beautiful. Here in Ibara the Cake shops, cellphone shops are screaming Christmas. Next week the 2nd year students are off to either Canada or Okinawa. Canada meaning Toronto. They will be there for 3 days. As for me. I want to go to Okinawa so bad. Said to be the hawaii of Japan. I want to go there. Anyways During that time, 1st year students are having a sports event. basketball, badminton or table tennis. Guess what I am a part of? Basketball. Very fun. During P.E class we played against the boys and one time the girls one and the other time the we tied. Very funny though.
After that the school is going to Kyoto to cheer on the track and field team. but Band students don't get to go of course because there is a concert on that same day. Oh Last time I didn't go to Kyoto for the reunion. This time as well I can't go. Someday I will go to Kyoto.
In 2 weeks I will be going to Hiroshima though with my friend, Eri. I am very grateful for her because her family has offered me to join with them to go to Hiroshima. Train ride and entrance fee to the Nuclear bomb site dome place all paid. ERI THANK YOU SO MUCH. Otherwise things are going well.
By the way for those who like Tohoshinki, they are currently in Japan. On New Years they will be on T.V.
I am getting used to the cold weather. slowly.
Anyways things are going well lately. ^0^ and i don't have to go to school on christmas day. yay! but some other students do. i don't quite get it tho. anyways

Transfer and Communication

So, I arrived in Seoul after a long 14 hour trip. 14? maybe even 15. The layover in Shanghai was brutal to say the least. Well the flight to Shanghai itself was brutal as well. First, there was no tv like i'm used to on long flight travels. Second, My laptop wasn't fully charged, so I couldn't even use it for long as I was saving it for the layover. Third, Food/service on the plane wasn't that great. I got 2 meals and some sort of sandwich snack. Also, I told you yesterday about gate checking in my guitar? Well, that didn't work out well. At least they let me put it in the overhead compartment besides it being a full flight. However, I sat beside a really nice person who helped me. The flight attendants were not really good at understanding English, so the person beside me helped me ask the flight attendants what to do and etc. So the 12 hr flight to Shanghai was brutal with me fighting to sleep or staring into nothingness, attempt at conversation to the perso...

Osaka! Takarazuka! Junsu?

So where do I begin? Last time I told you I was going to update in Japan but I ended up not doing that because on the flight to Japan, I made friends with the person beside me. We somehow connected in conversations during the flight over that, before she had to move on to Shanghai, thought we should chill together a little bit more. (Which reminds me that I need to e-mail her). Anyways, the flight over to Korea eventually was uneventful besides the turbulence in the beginning, well landing in Japan was very turbulent as well. The weather was not great at that time to say the least. Landed safely and I was happy to see that my friends had came to pick me up. Keeping it Korean style, decided to take a picture of my arrival/reunion. We caught up with each other on the way to the friend's place I'm staying at, and it really felt surreal for me to be back in Korea. It was nice and welcoming at the same time it was... yup I'm in Korea... kind of reaction. Since my plane lande...

A lot has happened

so a lot has happened since i last wrote. Kojokan's girls track and field team got 1st and 2nd place in the marathon relay. And the boys got 2nd place in the marathon relay yesterday. The band club went out for some fun at a bowling alley. That all went well. The sports festival went well. Running with a flute is really really difficult i must say. Then I went out with some friends and such. Studying times are getting hard. Now I am starting to get homesickness why? mainly because my school's 2nd year students are going to Canada in December for one week. that's all they talk about. Aaaa My bike had a flat tire so I had to walk with my bike home. Kinda tiring but the next day it was okay. Lately I have been in a rut. Friends are making me choose between them. Music club friends or class mate friends. I hate having to choose. urgh. The worse situation in the world. Himeji went well. Went Karaoking, saw Himeji castle and ate some really good food. Nice to meet them again. I w...
